A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Chapter 1919: Battle of Yitian (Part 10)

Han Li's heart tensed when he saw this, and he immediately activated a spell.

The two opposing mountain peaks shook, radiating a myriad of lights as they swelled to a hundred zhang tall, pressing down menacingly.

With two resounding "boom" sounds, the light shield's surface twisted. Both mountain peaks were repelled, yet the light shield remained unharmed.

Meanwhile, the thirteen clusters of purple light, formed by the thirteen purple-patterned spirit insects, struck the light shield one after another.

The void near the light shield trembled, seemingly trying to repel the spirit insects as well.

However, the thirteen spirit insects let out sharp cries and rapidly expanded in size, becoming several feet large. As their limbs extended, a layer of silver light abruptly emerged, and they pierced into the void around the light shield like steel needles.

Although the void near the light shield continued to twist and tremble, the purple-patterned spirit insects remained rooted in place, not moving an inch.

Not only that, but the spirit insects suddenly opened their mouths and each sprayed out a thumb-thick golden thread. In a flash, these threads bypassed the light shield's strange defensive capabilities and pierced into it.

The seven-colored light shield, which had initially appeared exceptionally dense, immediately began to tremble with light. Streams of brilliant multi-colored radiance surged along the thirteen golden threads towards the spirit insects.

In merely the span of a few breaths, the light shield dimmed, and its humming significantly reduced, as if its spiritual energy was rapidly draining at an alarming rate.

The two Glazed Puppets seemed momentarily stunned by this development, but immediately, seven-colored light erupted from their four hands, transforming into a tremendous surge of spiritual energy that poured outwards.

With a flash, the light shield brightened once more and its humming intensified.

However, the thirteen spirit insects absorbed the light shield's spiritual energy at an astonishing speed. This forced the two Glazed Puppets, despite their other immense abilities, to keep their hands joined without separation.

Unexpectedly, the two sides found themselves in a stalemate!

Han Li was initially surprised by this situation, but then he rejoiced. With a single hand, he formed a sword incantation, and seventy-two small, shimmering green swords immediately shot out from his body. They vanished in a flash, transforming into hundreds of sword shadows above the light shield, then converged into a single ten-zhang-long azure greatsword.

"Strike!"

Han Li let out a low shout, repeatedly pointing his finger at the azure greatsword.

With a hum, the greatsword instantly transformed into a streak of green light and slashed downwards.

Although the Azure Bamboo Cloud-Swarm Swords might not match the silver ruler in terms of mystical transformations, their combined power when all seventy-two flying swords struck together was far superior in sheer sharpness.

Furthermore, as Han Li's vital Dharma treasure, this set of flying swords had been meticulously nurtured within his body for many years, giving birth to a trace of sentience and subtly acquiring some void-rending properties.

Now, even though the seven-colored light shield was extremely profound, most of its spiritual energy was being held in check by the thirteen purple-patterned gold-devouring insects.

Therefore, Han Li felt he had a seventy to eighty percent chance of success with this single sword strike.

However, what he hadn't anticipated was that, at this crucial moment, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred.

Just as the distant azure greatsword began its descent, a wave of black light unexpectedly appeared above Han Li's head. It flashed, transforming into five large, horizontally aligned "Suppress" characters.

Han Li felt a muffled thud in the air as an immense force bore down on him, as if five mountains were simultaneously pressing upon him.

Had his physical body not been far stronger than imagined, any ordinary human cultivator of the same rank would have had their body instantly crushed under such immense pressure, even if their life barely managed to survive.

At the same time, a small purple cauldron silently emerged beneath Han Li's feet.

From the cauldron's mouth, a black light swirled down, and three ancient black characters, "Fix," flashed into existence.

Han Li instantly felt his body constrict, his limbs seemingly bound by an invisible steel hoop, and his spiritual power solidified within him.

Furthermore, a blue light flashed by Han Li's side, and a transparent puppet, like an ice sculpture, appeared in a flash. With a movement of its arm, a several-zhang-long transparent greatsword swept towards him like a gust of strong wind.

On the other side, a faint golden light dispersed, and the beautiful woman from the Yin-Yang Duo appeared, her face contorted in a grimace as she raised both hands!

A ball of green flame and a blood-red flying sword simultaneously shot out.

The green flame spun rapidly, suddenly transforming into a green-faced, fanged ghost head that bared its tusks and lunged directly at Han Li.

The blood-colored flying sword, after a tremor, unleashed a piercing shriek that unsettled the mind, then slashed downwards, exuding a strong scent of blood.

This woman, using the profound restrictions of the area and the control disk in her hand, had concealed her presence from Han Li's spiritual sense and eyes. The moment his two most feared Extreme Mountains and spirit insects moved away from him, she immediately launched an insidious close-range sneak attack, coordinating with another puppet of the Integration stage.

Moreover, her assault was as fierce as a thunderclap, unleashing numerous techniques at once, clearly intending to make Han Li perish on the spot with a single strike.

Faced with such an unexpected and perilous attack, even Han Li's pupils contracted, but he instinctively reacted at once.

Golden light burst from his body, his physique swelled several times over, and a layer of golden fur covered him completely, transforming him once again into the form of a Mountain Giant Ape.

After transforming into the Divine Giant Ape, a surge of divine power erupted within him. Neither the immense pressure on his body nor the astonishing force from below could restrict him in the slightest, and his spiritual power instantly returned to normal.

With a great roar, black mist roiled around the giant ape's upper body, and the Outworld Demonic Armor flashed into existence. Countless black runes surged from the armor, forming a protective barrier.

Behind him, a golden light flashed, and a three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol manifested. As its six arms danced, six golden great blades appeared simultaneously, intertwining to slash at the transparent greatsword.

Simultaneously, a green shadow shot out from Han Li's body, swaying in the wind to transform into another green-skinned "Han Li."

Without hesitation, this clone moved to the other side. With a flick of its hands, a dense flurry of green fist shadows immediately struck towards the ghost head and the bloody sword light.

As for the main body of the giant ape, it opened its mouth wide, and a ball of silver flames shot out.

The next moment, various lights burst around the ape, and massive spheres of light appeared one after another, dazzlingly bright.

Furthermore, rings of shockwaves, like raging winds, swept outwards in all directions, seemingly intent on engulfing everything.

Suddenly, a scream rang out as a figure stumbled out from the center of the shockwaves, covered in blood, with one arm clearly severed at the shoulder.

It was none other than the beautiful woman who had been so aggressive just moments ago, but now her face was etched with an expression of disbelief.

After a cold snort, the distant light receded, and the towering body of the giant ape and the other green-skinned "Han Li" appeared side-by-side.

In one of the giant ape's hands, five fingers clutched a ball of green flame, while the other hand tightly gripped a shattered purple blade.

Within the green flame, a green skull spewed black gas, shaking desperately as if trying to break free and escape. However, the divine power of Han Li's giant ape transformation was immense; his fingers held the skull so tightly that it couldn't move an inch from his grasp.

The purple shattered blade emitted a five-colored halo, and a trace of the power of Heaven and Earth's laws faintly emanated from it.

The spiritual body clone beside them remained expressionless; one of its arms was reduced to a single crystalline white bone, as if melted, while the other was charred black, as if seared by some demonic flame.

And to the side, where neither wanted to be, a dazzling golden figure was locked in a fierce battle with a flickering transparent puppet, seemingly unable to determine a victor for the time being.

"Profound Heaven Treasure! Golden Dharma Idol Body!"

After letting out a shriek as if her throat had been squeezed, the beautiful woman immediately flipped her hand, producing a silver magic disk. With a face full of terror, she hastily shook it.

A faint golden mist spread around her, and her entire being blurred, about to vanish in a flash the next moment.

Seeing this, Han Li muttered to himself, but a black light flashed between his brows, and a third eye instantly appeared. It swirled with black radiance and shot out a black beam of light.

It vanished in a flash!

The black beam of light disappeared almost simultaneously with the beautiful woman's figure, but after a muffled thud, black light flashed dozens of zhang away, and the beautiful woman was abruptly pushed out of the nearby void, her face filled with terror.

Before she could even steady herself, the golden-furred giant ape in the distance let out a sudden cold snort.

Hearing this, the beautiful woman shivered with a cold dread. Her body swayed, and she uncontrollably began to fall downwards.

Almost at the same time, the giant ape lunged forward. With a clap of thunder from a clear sky, a silver great roc materialized amidst lightning and intertwining silver arcs, even growing a pair of crystalline lightning wings on its back.

A cold glint flashed in the great roc's eyes, and all four of its wings fanned simultaneously!

Instantly, with a bursting sound that tore through the air, the great roc vanished from its spot.

A roar! Dozens of zhang away, behind the beautiful woman, a silver giant claw suddenly shot out. With a flash, it unexpectedly pierced through her body.

A soft sound emanated from the giant claw, and a swirling silver flame erupted. The beautiful woman's body was engulfed by the surging silver flames, instantly turning into ashes; even her Nascent Soul failed to escape in time.

At this moment, another peal of thunder rang out. After spreading its four wings again, the silver great roc rapidly shrunk, returning to its human form.

He turned his head to glance at the transparent puppet, which had been chopped into pieces by the Black Brahma Saint Golden Body. Immediately, he raised an eyebrow and flicked his fingers repeatedly towards the distance.

Streaks of shimmering green sword qi shot out in dense succession, each strike precisely hitting the spot where the puppet tried to retreat and dodge.

This puppet was clearly not adept at handling such situations; it was a type specialized in stealth and assassination.

Under this fierce assault, the puppet was forced to retreat step by step in an instant.

With a single oversight, it was torn apart by the golden figure's storm of golden great blades.

Further away, the two Glazed Puppets were also in extreme peril.

The original seven-colored light shield, although the azure greatsword had ultimately not landed due to Han Li's side being ambushed and had vanished with a wail, still couldn't withstand the rapid spiritual energy absorption of the thirteen purple-patterned spirit insects and thus shattered on its own.
